    Ep. 75 - It's Giving The Bender Method w/ Michelle Davis

    Joined by television writer Michelle Davis (After Midnight, Ziwe, A Black Lady Sketch Show), the conversation ricochets from pickup basketball and dating lore to Zoom romance during the pandemic. The trio unpacks the chaos of writers’ rooms, getting canceled six months after signing a lease, and why West Hollywood can spiritually exhaust even the strongest among us. They spiral into pandemic panic attacks, cereal-based coping mechanisms, and unhinged therapist takes. In the advice segment, they discuss if Heated Rivalry is humanizing gay athletes, proving once again that the wisdom is unsolicited, occasionally profound, and always delivered with love.

    Ep. 74 - It's Giving Joie de Vivre

    Jana and Brian dive headfirst into TikTok withdrawals and Instagram Reels methadone. Brian recommits to finishing his stand-up hour after what he calls a “comedy sabbatical,” Jana productivity-maxes on antidepressants, and together they unpack algorithm slop bowls, Threads nostalgia, Land Back discourse, and why every app now feels like it was invented by a supervillain. In the advice segment, a soon-to-graduate listener wonders whether to pursue grad school, move home, or chase community and love elsewhere. This prompts a heartfelt (and chaotic) counsel about quitting jobs, moving to big cities, and refusing to let federal funding or avoidant Native men derail your dreams. It’s equal parts cultural commentary, career crisis hotline, and cold-brew-fueled delusion.

    Ep. 73 - It's Giving Hard Launch w/ Steve Jenkins

    Jana and Brian welcome a very special guest straight from Jana’s bedroom to the couch musician and Gen X icon, Steve Jenkins. Hear them talk Succession finale worship, Mad Men propaganda, wallet chains, gay fashion crimes, and whether rich people are, in fact, the worst. Along the way hear from Brian about his ongoing existential crisis about becoming a daily vlogger in pursuit of filming a stand-up special. In the advice segment, a listener asks about cursed college fashion phases and “wise” advice that turned out to be completely wrong…which unlocks jeans-under-skirts discourse and a surprisingly passionate defense of leaning into your cringe era.

    Ep. 72 - It's Giving Roasting As Resistance

    NOTE: This episode was recorded in early January. This week on Sage-Based Wisdom, Jana and Brian ping-pong from SAT scores and stress dreams to Bri’s week-three vlog era, construction chaos, and a renewed commitment to 2026 being the Year of the Bitch™. AKA stop people-pleasing, start roasting the powerful, and please keep your eyes on the alley. In the advice section, a listener doesn’t even ask for advice… she blesses us with a dispatch from Earth Haven, an eco-village in North Carolina that’s giving dry toilets, tantric retreat flashbacks, and “is this a cult?” energy, which launches Jana and Brian into a full investigation + a pitch for Brian’s new moonlighting career as an $800/hour massage therapist.

    Ep. 71 - It's Giving Sharpie Eyebrows w/ Brigid Boyle

    Joined by stand-up comedian and longtime NYC sketch scene legend Brigid Boyle, the conversation spirals from cosmetic procedures, aging, dating, desire, power, and why fantasy is often hotter than reality. Together, they unpack slut energy vs. slut behavior, fear of commitment, and the psychological thrill (and terror) of actually being seen by another person. The trio dives deep into roleplay fantasies, Taylor Swift level yearning, why early-stage dating gives some people hives, and whether anyone actually wants to poop in the same bathroom as their partner. In the advice segment, they tackle internet moralizing around pleasure and addiction, the loneliness baked into modern scrolling culture, and whether community can really save us from ourselves. A caller asks how to renegotiate a salary after realizing their paycheck is not what they expected. As always, the advice is unsolicited, occasionally useful, and delivered with love. Zero refunds.

    Ep. 70 - It's Giving You Have To Be Delulu

    Jana and Brian spiral productively into a full-blown stand-up special intervention. What starts as a casual check-in turns into a radical commitment to being delulu on purpose: chasing a Hulu/Netflix special, vlogging the process, and refusing to wait for permission. Along the way, they unpack rage as creative fuel, why bombing is actually essential to comedy, clowning vs. cringe, and whether stand-up belongs at protests, sit-ins, and the mall. The episode swerves hard into Taco Bell discourse (bag sizes, nacho fries, merch capitalism), holiday gift reveals, and the deep emotional power of a good bolo tie. A caller asks for real advice on creating culture camps and teen nights for Native youth, prompting a grounded conversation about food, vulnerability, not being corny, and how intergenerational community actually gets built. Bottom line: feed people, make a fool of yourself first, choose momentum over fear, and if the system won’t give you a platform... so build one anyway.

    Ep. 69 - It’s Giving Too Good at Giving w/ Sebastian Conelli

    Joined by friend of the show and Loud About Nothing co-host Sebastian Conelli, the conversation ricochets from Staten Island Italians on the internet to dating when you’re broke, busy, and spiritually exhausted. Things get intimate: giver vs. receiver energy, workaholism killing romance, Gilmore Girls as a roadmap to softness, and why third spaces are disappearing (and what Brian has unfortunately replaced them with). The episode also delivers peak New York storytelling with examples of public crying, subway kindness, snow trash, sanitation worker appreciation, and multiple absolutely harrowing “I shit my pants in public” confessions. A caller asks for petty answers only after being humiliated by a former friend-with-benefits who tried to rope them into a threesome with a pretendian. They answer: You don’t owe politeness to people who crossed your boundaries and sometimes the most healing move is choosing yourself, loudly.

    Ep. 68 - It’s Giving White Relocation Act

    Jana and Brian kick off 2026, immediately spiraling into New Year “goals,” scammy influencer fitness plans, and the bleak reality that January is just a crowded gym with a calendar. Then the episode takes a HARD pivot into politics and Indigenous rage: Kristi Noem catching strays, a crash course in colonization, and the debut of the White Relocation Act–complete with a “five white passes” draft list for allies, boyfriends, and essential celebs. Finally, two callers bring the real: burnout from nonprofit/legal work and the emotional trap of serving your community at the expense of your own health. Jana and Brian deliver the only advice that matters: set boundaries like your life depends on it (because it does), make a strategic pivot if you need to, and let Gilmore Girls guide your career arc straight into your Paddington-era softness!
